Would you go into an argument with a girl who is insistently flirting with your boyfriend or would you just ignore and trust your boyfriend to stay true to you?
I had this experience before when I was younger (Ugh! So revealing) and I ignored the girl. My boyfriend thwarted the flirty girl and stuck with me. I gave the same advice to a friend when she confided that she had this argument with a girl who was flirting with his boyfriend and was ashamed later when she admitted she called the girl names which she never did before. I just thought that she should not go down to the level of the flirty girl and be able to maintain her dignity.
Now I doubt if my advice would be relevant today since girls today are a bit forward than the girls of my time.
What do you think mylotters.

With today's generation, it's pretty tough to stand by while other girls are getting a go at your boyfriend. Ignoring the act and solely trusting your boyfriend will mean two things for him: you either trust him too much or you just don't care.
I rather insinuate some "proprietary" gestures towards my boyfriend to discourage these flirts. I'd say that guys tend to dig it when girls are having a bickering fight over them. It goes to boost their ego-let's face it, they feel good when girls are fighting over them.
However, I wouldn't go too low as engaging in cat fights or "riot". That's just plain "cheap" for my taste.

I agree with you that girl fights over boyfriends are ego-boosting for men though a shallow one of lifting egos. I would somehow ward off girls from my "territory" with other ways if I could.
Thanks for your response sophiecheer. Have a nice day.

Agree. But truth be told..guys are pretty shallow people. Well, at least most of them anyway. That's why we took pains in trying to get beautiful and sexy for them. At first glance, they don't fall in love with you for your personality..they go nuts because of your nice a$s and big b0obs.

I think girls today are more aggressive and standing by while you see your boyfriend being flirted at is (almost always) not acceptable. But, it really depends on the girl and the level of relationship she has with his boyfriend.
As for me, well, all I can say is that if she wants war, she'll definitely get it. :P

Hahaha. That's the spirit, rdmcollamat! There are times when I feel exactly the same.
Cheers and thanks for your response.

i would prefer not to go down their level. these are obvious wreckers and they glorify themselves for any success in their attempts to ruin a relationship. i do not have anything to do with them.
my strategy would be to deal with my partner or bf. i would mention what i feel and what i observe. maybe i would state what i dislike about the situation or my disgust if i see him flirting with the girl, too. it has to be clear. i have to let him know what my stand is.
also, i am a very frank person. i would tell straight that i am insulted when i see something not really proper or right. of course, men will always deny but they have to know. they have to be aware that you see, that you sense something is wrong. they will always tell that they are not being trusted, i am sure. but still, for me, they have to know.

Yes to not going down to the level of flirts, bingskee. They might think they are a great success when all that flirting shows weaknesses or shallow selves. And too, simply letting guys know no matter how much they deny is enough. At least they know you know.
I admire your frankness because I am not. Silly SIR which does not resolve anything, really.
Thanks for your response, bingskee. Have a nice day.

It's a tough situation, I think, and what you should do really depends on who the girl is. Is it someone you come into contact with a lot? Then you kind of need to say something, but if it is someone you don't see so often, or who you know your boyfriend doesn't like anyway, you might as well be the better person and ignore it.

I agree with you, puccagirl. Knowing who the girl helps one choose how to act. Though I would still prefer to be the better girl (as you say) and ignore the girl. That would even be an insult to the girl to know and feel that she isn't a competition at all. Hahaha
Thanks for your response and cheers!

I have also experienced this with my boyfriend. There are many girls who are always following his moves with their eyes. What I do during these moments is, I invite him to have a serious talk with me. I explain to him that I am hurting whenever a some flirty girl tries to catch his attention. And when we understand each others feelings, then we try to settle things down.
Luckily, my boyfriend is faithful to me and he ignores every girl that may seem to be flirting with him. And when I'm not around, he would tell me as soon as we see each other.
But if the girl is trying to really get in our way, I would still not go down to her level. Because if I did, it would feel like I am lower than her level. I will just try to ignore her until she gives up on flirting with my boyfriend.

It is always nice to be open with each other. Clears the air. And you're fortunate to have a faithful boyfriend. There are few of them nowadays. Most have roving eyers and with all the flirts around....
Wish you both the best.
Thanks for your response.

all i can say is to trust and have faith to your boyfriend. if your bf trust and has faith to you then he deserves to be trusted too. if not, then you must teach him. just dont underestimate us men. we can resist flirty girls. and were doin it for the girl we love. just trust, understand and have faith to each other to keep your relationship strong.

I agree kuramax. And even if I have my doubts, I appear to have trust and the "significant other" would make attempts not to break that trust. I remember a colleague once said....Trust begets trust. Though trust should be worked out and earned.
Thanks for your response.

Hi. figurativeme. Well, I would not approach her directly, but by the time that I have given her the fierce eye contact, she will know better next time or any other time, to not flirt with my husband. I don't have to stoop down to her level, I will just become above her level. Ignoring her and being the bigger woman is so, so my style. If my man is flirting, then he can expect to hear me express my deepest feelings. I will not tolerate him flirting right beneath my nose. If he feels like he has to flirt, then he can do so... Without me in his life though.
